How did you determine this to be your issue? My passat was driving fine then randomly starts to sputterm im going to run the reader on it. But i think this could be my issue as wellm
VW Passat would misfire on and off for months. Engine and RMP would rev/ car would bounce. Got to the point it would just randomly die while at a stop light. VW mechanics and another shop couldn’t trace the engine code that randomly comes on and off. Spent over $1000 trying to fix this. So far this is working! Thank you!
can we be honest that VW mechanics are actually brain dead most of the time and will drown your money while making you feel crazy and THEN fix it later. i can’t be the only one dealing with this issue
they tend to misfire when cold, the pin gets stuck with oil slug, as the slug in the magnet warms it works normal. Shot parts cleaner straw through the small holes. The pin will free fall when cleaned no need to buy a new one.
I had one, about a month back, on a Passat that I replaced same part on. It would intermittently run rough. The plunger seemed to work ok when you would flip it over..must of had a week plunger or solenoid. The thing set like 10 codes all from that one issue lol. Lean codes, misfire codes, timing codes, fuel pressure codes..crazy that one part could set all that. Knowing what data pids to look at helped a ton though. Good find 👍
@@yanbaihuzxzxzx no I didn't replace it. To be honest I dont really work on many Euros and at the time wasn't sure if there were any special tools to remove it.

Lol if youre going to replace the magnet you might as well replace the camshaft sensor snd value spindle, the spindle is in where the magnet goes, you can see it where the magnet is removed.
